Kidscape is a London-based charity established in 1985 by child psychologist Michele Elliott. Its focus is on children's safety, with an emphasis on the prevention of harm by equipping children with techniques and mindsets that help them stay safe.

During these unprecedented times Internet safety has never been more important as children are using computer, iphones, tablets and apps more.

These sessions deal with:

• Raising self-esteem

Teaching young people how to identify and be proud of their own unique strengths and skills - encouraging them to understand that the bullying is not their fault.

• Exploring bullying roles
  Defining the terms 'bully', 'bystander' and 'target', and exploring the types of behaviour that may be associated with these terms.
• Assertive skills
• Understanding the difference between aggression, assertiveness and passivity and how these are relevant to bullying dynamics. Young people will also learn a range of practical assertive strategies that will help them to deal with bullying situations that may occur in the future.
• Positive body language
  Identifying the impact of positive body language in relation to being assertive.
• Cyberbullying
